DO-NATION

WEBSITE DESIGN - CASE STUDY

I was tasked with designing and building a web application for charities and foundations to receive donations from people, as well as for people to donate money to charities they find interesting. I first developed the logo and branding for the site. I chose bright, fun colors and played on the subtly of the circle representing trust, as well as the more concrete conenction to coins and money, as well as a globe and a nation. I then researched existing fundraising sites like GoFundMe.com, indiegogo.com, GiveFoward.com, and crowdrise.com.

I created user stories and user personas for Do-Nation to help determine what is most important in this web application design from the users perspective. From this I was then able to compile user flows and a site map using draw.io. After using UXPin to generate wireframes, I then moved on to designing the prototypes in Photoshop. I developed the front-end using Zurb's Foundation Framework with HTML, SASS and JavaScript.
